An Apple fan who has spent “nearly 30 years as a loyal customer” says they’ve been “permanently” locked out of their Apple Account due to what might be the overzealous actions of Apple’s automated anti-fraud system. It’s left them locked out of “20 years of digital life,” and it all started with the seemingly straightforward purchase of an Apple gift card.

I’m a little curious as to why they used a gift card and didn’t just pay with their own card. Seems a hassle to add the extra step.

Maybe they were gifted the gift card - Or they default to purchasing their Apple stuff using gift cards only because they don’t want their credit card data saved on Apples side. Who knows?

Yeah, there could be lots of reasons. I’ve gotten Apple GCs with cash back rewards from my credit card, for example.
